With a boost from those kids and a Wofford women's record home crowd of 1,592 in attendance, the Terriers held on for a 68-65 victory against Elon Monday afternoon in the Benjamin Johnson Arena. Jordan Frazier scored on a driving layup with 10.6 seconds remaining and the Terriers defended a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

“There's no doubt in my mind that those young people made a difference,” Wofford head coach Edgar Farmer Jr. said. “… They brought energy and enthusiasm. It made our players feel more energized.”

Fifth-graders from across Spartanburg County were brought in for the second annual “Growing Up Gold Education Day.” They visited the Wofford campus and learned about attending college prior to filling the stands for the special afternoon game.

“I have to credit Lenny Mathis (assistant athletic director for marketing and promotions) and his great staff,” Farmer said. “There was an outstanding environment.”

Elon got within a point in the final minute on a 3-pointer and Wofford called timeout with 30 seconds remaining, 19 on the shot clock. Frazier ended up driving in all the way for an open layup.

“We were doing well with our high-post screen action and they were having a hard time guarding it,” Farmer said. “So we decided to go to that and just have (Frazier) read what the back-side defender was going to do. We were confident that we could get a layup or a knockdown jump shot.”

Logan Morris scored 25 points for Wofford two days after setting a career high with 26 points in a victory against UNC Greensboro. Frazier finished with 19 points, six rebounds and three assists. Lauren Kirby added 11 points and nine rebounds.

“We put together a collective team effort and we overcame a bit of adversity with a big run (10-2) by Elon,” Farmer said. “… Our team did a fantastic job of sticking together. Logan and Jordan really played well today and really fed off one another.”

Wofford (5-14, 3-6 Southern Conference) has already matched its league win total of last season, when the Terriers finished 3-17 and 8-21 overall.

“We feel like today was a step in the right direction,” Farmer said. “We definitely have something to build on for the next game and the rest of the Southern Conference schedule.”
